2021 Cuvée Jeanne Marie
Santa Ynez Valley
"A lighter hue in the glass, this blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre is always a solid food pairing for a wide range of cuisine. Aromas of black raspberry, purple roses and underlying char show on the nose. The palate is taut and loaded with bright flavors of raspberry, thyme and peppercorn." Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
"Handsomely structured and polished, with expressive flavors of raspberry, dried cherry, smoked meat and pepper that gather richness toward refined tannins. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2031. 372 cases made." Wine Spectator, 93 Points
"Kirsch, blackberries, peppery herbs, and some floral notes all define the 2021 Jean-Marie Cuvee Williamson-Dore Vineyard, a fruit-forward, charming blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. It has soft tannins, good balance, and lots of charm." JebDunnuck.com, 91 Points
"A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, the 2021 Cuvée Jeanne Marie Proprietary Red is a straightforward, charming take on a Rhône blend. It opens with a medley of dusty red and black fruit aromas accented by herbal, garrigue notes. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, offering plush, juicy fruit flavors and a savory undercurrent that carries through to the refreshing yet subtly sturdy finish." Wine Advocate, 90 Points
